Another Roller/Trump Buddy Bites the Dust

Life is not going smoothly for Jerry Falwell Jr., son of the late Talibangelist, Jerry Falwell Sr.

Junior was recently suspended from his job as president of Liberty University, a fundamentalist Christian school in Lynchburg, Virginia, after a risque photo was circulated of Jerry Jr. on a yacht with his pants undone and an arm around the bare waist of a woman who definitely was not his wife.
JJ tried to foist an improbable explanation on the university governors but they weren't buying it and sent him packing.

How could it get any worse for Jer-Jr. It began this morning when Falwell broke the news that several years ago his devoted wife played a little lap tango with the poolboy at some resort and now the Falwells were being blackmailed by the guy.

The guy, a Mr. Giancarlo Granda, concedes that he and Mrs. Falwell indeed did the nasty - apparently a lot - but says that not only did Jer-Jr. know about it, he liked to watch.

The Miami native is now speaking out against the explosive accusations, denying any involvement in extortion, according to Reuters. Granda says he was “preyed” upon by Falwell, one of “the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement, ” and his partner, Reuters added.

Partner? It seems Granda got into a business not just with Jer-Jr. but with the missus to boot.

Although he “willingly” entered into a 7-year sexual relationship with the couple, he now feels like he was taken advantage of, he told the outlet. 

“Whether it was immaturity, naïveté, instability, or a combination thereof, it was this ‘mindset’ that the Falwells likely detected in deciding that I was the ideal target for their sexual escapades,” Granda expressed. 

When their relationship soured, Granda said he sought to “negotiate a buyout” from a business arrangement he had with the pair, Reuters reported.

Here's Granda pressing the flesh with Donald Trump during a 2012 meet and greet at Liberty University with Jer-Jr. in the background. The dark haired woman just behind Trump looks a lot like Mrs. Falwell.

As these evangelical scandals go, this one is way more sordid than most. There's even a recorded 3-way phone call between the Falwells and Granda where she complains that he upsets her by telling her of his latest tinder conquests.

Trump and Falwell Jr. have been allies for years. Here's a photo of the Falwells in Trump's office in 2016 after Jer-Jr. had introduced Trump at a Religious Leaders Summit.

You never know with these characters. Their ability to rise from the dead time after time would put Jeebus to shame. Only this time I think that the Falwell dynasty might have run its course. The sanctimonious bastard deserves it.

I wonder how long before Trump goes "Full Epstein" on Falwell putting as much distance between himself and the disgraced preacher as he possibly can.   You will remember that Trump did the Epstein on Steve Bannon this week after his former election guru was charged with fraud. In the next post we'll visit Trump's connection to Bannon's wall. There's more to it than Trump wants the voting public to know.
